Onward

Here we are, August 14th  2010, and I’m happy to say that we’re living life. Kona has shifted into her adjusted life with three legs. We have a new ‘normal’. Her appetite is really good. (thank goodness!) Ok, her appetite is REALLY GOOD !!!  I swear she can read the clock! No kidding. At the stroke of 7pm, she starts a barking frenzy, getting the other two pups to join in…this doe not stop until they get their food…later I regain my hearing! They’re so loud, you can’t even hear your own voice.

 She’s keeping her adopted sister and brother in line, diving, yes, and stealing their toys like a shark week episode. She plays with her cat brother, Shaymouse (like Seamus). She’s still making up for his rough play with her when she was a lil puppy and he, Shaymouse was the larger. (he’s around 14 lbs). Of course, now Kona towers over him at around 63 lbs.  Yes, I used to warn Shaymouse when Kona was a little puppy that she would grow and a lot…boys, he didn’t listen!  Shaymouse is 10yrs, 11 in December…Kona turned 9yrs in April.

Ahh, kids.

Kona was just diagnosed on Memorial Weekend 2010, and then had surgery to remove her cancerous right rear leg on Friday, June 4th, 2010. We also have two other pups: both special needs (from birth) homogenous albinos, deaf and blind in one eye (opposite eyes) then dumped as puppies in the mts of Wa state…both survived quite a long time on their own. Bella is now 12 1/2+ and Cotton 8 1/2yrs with rescued as a kitten, tossed out of a car @ 60mph...Holly, now 16 +yrs. Bella is now completely blind for more than a year. View all posts by konakaismom
